Anniversary Mafia Game Thread - The Final Day

[[M] D'Anna]

Although the delayed reaction is suspicious, it does fit in with Jiro forgetting to give Yuffie a result as well.

Jiro probably assumed that since Noctis died a result should not be given, and maybe he changed his mind later. Or he just plain forgot because you know, it's Jiro.

For now I'll believe the claim. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Leila ever gets an Innocent result.

Here's what I don't like. I don't like Wakka and Leila's vote switch to Yuffie at the end of Day 4 once the votes were stacking up for Blank. It smells bad. Real bad.

Sorry, forgot to bathe. Let me remind you: first night I investigated Yuffie she came up Guilty, so I assumed she was guilty.

That fits your story well, but on Day 2 you had that information too and you ended up changing your vote from Yuffie. Why did you do that?

By the end of the day a vote on her was useless.

So far Wedge has 5 votes with the self vote. The next highest is 2 for Relm with her self vote. Everyone else has 1 or less.

The town power roles in this game have been pretty useless with the exception of Faris. I guess Rydia too if he actually saved Cid. Wedge has been the least useful at all, without a SINGLE result being revealed in the thread. It all sounds stacked up for Wedge. But this one post always gets me:

What?!?! Laguna is dead?!?! You have some explaining to do now, don't you, Serah! You think I'm going to sit idly by when the doctor comes up dead after you received a special investigative report!?!?! I was willing to blow myself up to protect the world from Shinra, and I'm willing to risk my life on the line to expose you! What have you to say for yourself, Mafia scum!!!

##Vote: Serah

It comes out of the blue. No heat was on Wedge or Serah at this point. Why would a mafia do this? Is there a Mafia Cop who found out Serah was a Governor? Then shoot the Governor. Putting this post out there just doesn't make sense from a scum perspective.

That said, Wedge has been pretty much ueless with the use of his role. That may not be his fault and he may be playing us for fools, but I think someone else is actually playing us.

Why? Can you refresh my memory? I wasn't very active on that day.

[[M] Harry - Dad's Dad]

Votes were originally spread between Yuffie and Blank. I forget who they were going towards at the end, I think Refia and Serah , before the Gladiator mess.

[[M] Harry - Dad's Dad]

In all honesty, a useless vote (a single vote) doesn't help the town progress towards a final decision.

I know what you mean. As I said before, I'm no longer sure whether I actually think Wedge is scum or whether I'm just frustrated that this power role has been nigh on useless to us the entire game. =/

On Day 2 the votes were starting to pile onto Balthier towards the end IIRC, and then the gladiator challenge occurred which was a whole lot of mess and madness.

[[M] D'Anna]

Speaking of that, here's Setzer's response during that mess:

This is cruel. Sorry Serah.

##unvote: Leila
##vote: Serah

That's it. No questioning of validity of the Gladiator claim, when many others were wtf at that time. Almost like he assumed Quistis was telling the truth since he had prior knowledge of where everyone's allegiance lied.

My vote is on Relm and will stay that way. Relm has escaped scrutiny much so far, yet she hasn't done anything to prove herself at all. Did she vote Blank? Nope. Did she suspect Galuf? Nope. She just posts random pictures. Then there's the whole "Day Kill" thing that really sits bad in my stomach. Why has Relm escaped our watch?

[[M] D'Anna]

I also want to say that absent her cop claim, I actually suspect Leila the most. So if you are mafia trying to trick us with a bogus Paranoid Cop claim (easy for mafia to claim since you get the same result for everyone), good for you.

[[M] Harry - Dad's Dad]

oh yes, I am sooooo mafia, I'll even self vote instead of drawing attention to another person. That's what they do, right? Try to get themselves killed?

By all means, take me out and waste a day

I'm going back to work.

[[M] Al - Biker Dad]

Yeah. I... have nothing to defend myself in that regard. I honestly got caught up in the moment, it was too crazy at the time not to believe. Serah was insisting that people vote for her because she had it under control. I never got the impression Serah was scummy, so I put faith in her words. Lapse in judgement? Definitely, I will admit that.

Regarding Relm... It is probably because there is always something more going on, which always distracts us from the smaller things that occur. The only post (that I can find, right now) with any substance she has made was the one in which she campaigned against Wedge and Yuffie, ending with a vote for Yuffie mainly for her commentary on voting on Day 2. Not a mention of Blank, and as I said previous - this could have been an attempt to swing the attention off him. However, Noctis was relentless. xD

Hmm. I'll think on this some more. I may switch my vote to Relm before the day is out. Rikku's scum accusation from Refia has me curious, but it may be able to wait until we have more information (if Rikku ever posts. Sigh.).

[[M] D'Anna]

Here's the issue. If Wedge is scum then good job. But if he isn't then the mafia doesn't really have to do anything for the rest of the day since he has such a big lead. For people to talk the pressure must be on. Look at Blank. Only posted when under pressure.

If it's the decision to kill him then fine. I mean, Cop, Spy, Tracker, Jack of All Trades, that's already a lot of investigative abilities. He's also never told us the name of the role which usually happens during a roleclaim. He's fishy. Definitely. But I'd rather we post some more and get more thoughts out there because if we wrong we could potentially lose two or three more townies tonight and be in real bad shape.

[[M] Mike - Funny Dad]

Melenkurion abatha, I just realized something.

Blank told me to protect Cid. And I still did it.

[[M] D'Anna]

Do you think you were being played? That would make Faris scum.
